Chapter 44 What kind of gossip is this? !
On the way back, Lu Youyou received countless looks. Some people not only looked at her, but also wanted to touch her, hoping to get some good fortune and hope that one day they would be hit by a pie in the sky.
This time, without Li Sanhua to lead the way, she had to charge forward on her own. If she weren't young, she might not have been able to shake off the auntie in the family compound.
There was a familiar bitter smell at the doorstep of his home. Lu Youyou stopped as soon as he reached the intersection and almost didn't want to go forward.
Even though it was Chinese medicine, the smell was the worst she had ever seen in her life!
At this time, the gate of Zhao Wan's house opened, and Aunt Luo came out with a medicine jar and buried the medicine residue under the wall with familiarity.
Lu Youyou felt sorry for the rose bush. It was forced to take medicine every day. No wonder the flowers bloomed so sparsely.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the way Aunt Luo looked at her was very different, and the frown between her eyebrows was even deeper than usual.
Lu Youyou nodded as a greeting. When she turned around to close the door, Aunt Luo glanced over here, looking even more bitter and vengeful than her high school dean.
Zhao Wan's life was really hard living with such a mother-in-law, and having to take a bottle of medicine every day made it even harder.
Lu Youyou quickly went into the house and closed the doors and windows, fearing that the marinade would take on the flavor if she smelled it for another second.
I don’t know where Xiao Huihui went to play, and the house was quiet.
She shook her numb arms. Things these days are very real, and the prizes are extremely heavy, especially the thermos, which weighs several kilograms even when empty.
Lu Youyou glanced at the things on the table and felt like she had forgotten something, as if she had forgotten her lunch box and notebook in the cafeteria?
Although it’s not the one with the stickman on it, it’s still not good to leave it outside.
Lu Youyou stood up resigned to her fate and had no choice but to run one more trip.
As I walked into the yard, I heard someone talking at the door, so I waited for a while until it was quiet outside before going out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Wan standing at the door, staring at Aunt Luo's back in a daze.
Lu Youyou always felt that Zhao Wan was a typical Chinese good wife, who regarded her husband as her heaven, gave everything for her family, and most importantly, was able to endure, no matter how hard or painful it was.
She thought that such people would just swallow their tears, but when Zhao Wan turned around and saw her, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Lu Youyou was at a loss. Why did he cry when he saw her?
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing..."
Without knowing the cause and effect, there is no way to comfort them.
Seeing Lu Youyou’s wide eyes, Zhao Wan was even more flustered than her, as if she didn’t expect that she couldn’t hold back her tears.
She quickly turned her head and said "I'm sorry".
Now Lu Youyou felt embarrassed.
The two families were neighbors, and Zhao Wan often accompanied her up the mountain. It would certainly not be okay to just turn around and leave, but it didn't seem appropriate to really ask about other people's private affairs.
What’s more, she is the wife of Zhao Wan’s husband’s colleague, which makes her position even more strange.
But human emotions always have their limits, just like Zhao Wan couldn't hold back her tears just now. At this moment, looking at Lu Youyou, she suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to about all her grievances.
"Sister, are you free?"
Lu Youyou's scalp tingled. What was going on today? The melons in the melon field were harvesting one after another.
"Yes, but I have to go to the cafeteria first..."
"I'll come with you. I'm eating alone tonight."
Lu Youyou was forced to be a wild civet, but she didn't expect that her own melon would be eaten first.
"I heard that the police sent you a banner and that you were interviewed by the military newspaper. Congratulations!"
"No, no, I had forgotten about what happened on the train. I didn't expect there would be a sequel."
"The reporter who came today... do you know who she is?"
"It seems to be the commander's daughter?"
Lu Youyou waited for a long time but didn't hear anything else. She turned around and saw Zhao Wan was hesitant to speak, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just tell me what you want to say."
Zhao Wan considered: "Sister, logically I shouldn't say this, but Captain Gu is not at home now, and I'm afraid there will be rumors outside. I'll tell you so that you can have an idea."
Lu Youyou understood that his previous feeling was correct.
She smiled and said, "I am a person with a big heart. I never listen to rumors."
Zhao Wan was very envious. She could never be as broad-minded as Lu Youyou.
"I heard, just heard, that someone introduced Comrade Lu and Captain Gu to each other as a match."
She considered the tone, afraid that Lu Youyou would get anxious, and immediately added a sentence.
"But I didn't hear any follow-up. Don't worry. After all, she is the commander's daughter. Not many people know about this."
Lu Youyou was stunned. That’s it?
She's not even my ex-girlfriend, it's just that the blind date didn't work out, how can this be considered gossip? !
This kind of "secret" that is not explosive enough is not worthy of Zhao Wanzhen's careful choice of words.
However, “not many people know about it” is roughly equivalent to saying that many people know about it, and the so-called secrets are not secrets at all.
Zhao Wan had been observing carefully and even prepared words of comfort, but Lu Youyou didn't react at all, or rather, her reaction was a little strange.
Lu Youyou suddenly found herself feeling an indescribable excitement in her heart.
Ever since she came here, she has always felt detached, as if this world was fictional to her and everyone was like an NPC. Only Gu Qingye was real and had some connection with her.
She is not interested in other people's gossip, only when she hears his scandals does she feel it is real.
Zhao Wanqing was unsure of Lu Youyou's attitude, so she decided to comfort her first.
"Sister, you don't have to think too much. It's all in the past. Anyway, it's you who is marrying Captain Gu now."
Lu Youyou didn't react at once, as if it didn't make sense whether she was sad or not, so she could only smile and nod.
Zhao Wan was full of emotion and envied sincerely: "Sister, they say happiness comes naturally when you are open-minded. You are a blessed person! Unlike me..."
The long sigh made Lu Youyou shiver, as if he had been fed ten kilograms of Coptis chinensis.
For Zhao Wan to express her true feelings in front of an outsider like her, she must have been eating Coptis chinensis as her meal every day.
Ever since she found out that Zhao Wan wasn't doing well, Lu Youyou's impression of Luo Hongqi plummeted.
This instructor looks gentle and kind, and is said to be capable at work, but he can't even protect his wife, or he doesn't even want to protect her. He is simply a scumbag.
Zhao Wan wiped her tears and started talking.
"My family boils medicine every day, and it affects you. I apologize to you."
Lu Youyou could only comfort him: "Every household has inconveniences at times, and it will pass if we understand each other."
To be honest, she is not very kind. The aroma of the stewed soup spreads from ten miles away every day, and it is not certain who has the greater killing power.
"I have been through so much hardship over the years. I often wonder if I will never have children in this lifetime. He has never urged me to do so in the ten years since we got married, but my mother-in-law..."
When Lu Youyou heard this, she accused Luo Hongqi of an even greater crime in her mind.
What do you mean by never urged? He didn't object either. Does that mean it doesn't matter if he doesn't have to suffer?
Lu Youyou glanced at Zhao Wan. She was still immersed in sadness, but she didn't realize that the source of her sadness might be the husband who never urged her.
"Sister-in-law, are you sure it's your problem?"
